Well, the Devil does get all the best tunes...

That photo of Rooney Mara smoking just makes me wonder why she has never played the younger version of Winona Ryder’s character in a movie.

I’m an atheist, too! It’s just such a great movie, and the performances (particularly Anderson’s, but shout-out to Yvonne Elliman’s Mary Magdalene) are just so damn good that I can’t help but love it. 

Watching Jesus Christ, Superstar, as a young and impressionable child has given me a high level of contempt for versions of Christ’s life not set in the 1970s and featuring Carl Anderson and his cleavage. (Pictured: what Bible stories should look like, according to me)

That’ll work, too. 

Well, lady, you are in luck, because the Bible actually specifically addresses this issue! Let’s crack open the good book and see what you and your sons should do!

It’s less than the cost of one of Betsy’s numerous yachts, if that helps put it in perspective.

A lot of the media in this country has gone out of their way to not do any kind of self-reflection on how they handle the news in a post-2016 world. 

In addition to how obviously Islamaphobic and xenophobic this is, it is also just such a mean-spirited and petty way to deliberately ruin what should have been a wonderful day for Rep Johnson-Harrell. I mean, she was there with her whole beautiful family, happy and excited and proud to get sworn in, and then this shit…

Yea, I was wondering if this wasn’t perhaps triggered by the high-profile suicides of two other survivors of a mass shooting in the last couple of days. It seems notable that this came so soon after reports of the deaths of the Parkland survivors.

I also wonder if the suicides of the Parkland survivors might have triggered something for him. There is some evidence that suicide is “catching” (for lack of a better word), especially among people who share a common experience, like they do with gun violence. It seems relevant that this occurred right after two…

I mean, it’s usually pumps or replacement parts so they can fix their ship. That’s usually pretty well received.

I’m kinda surprised they even airlifted anyone off, to be honest. Unless the boat is straight-up sinking you are almost always safer just staying put. 26 foot seas are bad, and they’ll throw stuff around, but in a ship that size you likely aren’t in serious danger (although I am trying to tell from the video if they…

I recently read Until the Sea Shall Free Them, about the sinking of the commercial ship the Marine Electric (highly recommend), and at the end one of the Coast Guard guys who was part of the investigation started focusing on how grossly unsafe cruise ships are after he left the Guard. He particularly pointed out that…

They show doesn’t really get into that, but there are at least a couple times when the “Lindy” character gets called out for being very self-centered. 

THAT’S ME, JEANINE!!

I would assume that victims would be able to file claims against the deceased’s estate, if they were negligent. That weapon should have been locked up, in a safe, where only the licensed owner has the combo.  

My loony aunt is a huge fan of buying us strange religious items, usually of the fundie Christian variety, despite the fact that my whole family is Catholic (and I’m an atheist), so if she ever comes into any money I am sure we are all going to be “treated” to some of these. 

It was fun! But that last time Nadia is in her apartment, when Greta is dancing all by herself? Woof, that scene was good, and I so want to see more of that particular side of her.
